QUESTION 6 Answer this questiоn оn fоlio pаper 6.1 Following а trip to Asiа in 2017 by US President Donald Trump, China has reduced tariffs from 17.3% to 7.7% on over 200 consumer products. These include pharmaceuticals, food, health supplements and clothing. Many multinational corporations may have major financial gains. Nestle’s sales could increase by 15% or $18.7bn because of the reduction in tariffs. Procter & Gamble, will also benefit from tariff reductions on items ranging from shampoos to electronic toothbrushes. With reference to the data above and your knowledge of economics, evaluate the possible benefits of reducing the level of tariffs on imported goods and services to China. (12) 6.2 A new UK report identified the urgent need to reduce pollution from vehicles and provide more open spaces and parks. Researchers looked at the impact on health when participants walked for two hours on London’s busy Oxford Street. This was then compared to those walking in the nearby large open space of Hyde Park. The results showed that people walking in the park performed better. The air pollution from vehicle fumes largely removed the health benefit from the exercise in Oxford Street. The report suggests that people should avoid walking in busy street sand should instead walk in parks or open spaces. (Source: adapted from http://edition.cnn.com/2017/12/05/health/exercise-polluted-urban-streets-intl/index.html) With reference to the data above and your knowledge of economics, assess whether the government should provide more parks and open spaces. (9) 6.3 The demand for the US$ changed following the publication in 2019 of the latest US growth rate report. Analyse the impact of currency speculators on the supply and demand of the currency for a country such as the US. (6) 6.4 Figure 1 below shows Kenya’s interest rate (%0 from January to October 2018. Figure 1 (Source: https://tradingeconomics.com/kenya/interest-rate) Calculate the percentage change in Kenya’s interest rate between January and October 2018. You are advised to show your working. (2) 6.5 The annual rate of inflation in Kenya was 5.7% in September 2018 and fell to 5.53% in October 2018. Analyse how monetary policy could be used to further reduce the rate of inflation in Kenya. (6) 6.6 Kenya is the third largest exporter of cut flowers in the world, accounting for 1.3% of its GDP. Kenya’s main airport has a terminal dedicated especially to the transport of flowers and vegetables. The Kenyan flower industry has created many employment opportunities. Around 100,000 people are employed directly on the flower farms and over 500,000 people benefit indirectly from this industry. Over half of Kenya’s 127 flower farms are concentrated around Lake Naivasha due to the large amount of water needed to grow the flowers. Some environmental campaigners have expressed concerns over the impact that the flower industry could have on the lake. With reference to the data above and your knowledge of economics, evaluate the likely benefits for Kenya of the globalization of its flower industry. (12)
